MASSACRE AT PEOPLE'S PARK

Sometimes it is difficult to escape the conviction that there is a sickness so deep in the soul of the American people that they are beyond redemption. On May 15 and in ensuing days the massed armed might of the State, local police, state police, National Guardsmen, zeroed in on a few thousand unarmed citizens of Berkeley, California, who were doing what? Who had taken a muddy lot and transformed it lovingly into a "people's park". For this crime, and for the crime of refusing to move from this park which they had created with their own hands, the brutal forces of the State, led by Governor Reagan, moved in with fixed bayonets; shot into the unarmed crowd, wounding over 70 people and murdering the innocent bystander James Rector; flew a helicopter over the crowd and sprayed a super-form of mace over everyone in the area, including children and hospital patients; rounded up hundreds of people and humiliated and tortured them in the infamous Santa Rita concentration camp—one of the major camps for Japanese-Americans during World War II. All this has happened in our America of 1969, and where oh where is the nationwide cry of outrage? Where is the demand for the impeachment of the murderer Reagan and all of the lesser governmental cohorts implicated in this monstrosity?

They keep running the same plays on us.
This is from 1969, I was reading a biography on Mencken a while back
and they were doing the middle of the night no knocks on "communists and
anarchists" the terrorist boogie man of that time.This around 1919, Then there was the viscous attacks on Veterans and there families during the bonus marches in the early 30's,  those great "heroes" MacArthur, Patton and Eisenhower, were all involved in cavalry charges and fixed bayonets and firing into crowds. 

I never heard of any of this while being "educated" in government school.
Bet you didn't either.


Of course there were many assaults on the people before and after this.
The trend has always been toward more power for them.
More abuse for us.
